Campi Flegrei, Itlay

Campi Flegrei is a caldera nestled amongst the Bay of Naples in Italy, and another VUELCO target volcano. I first visited this region (and the accompanying Mt Vesuvius) as part of a 1st year undergraduate fieldtrip (2008). I have since been back with the VUELCO project (2014) to conduct an unrest and eruption simulation in partnership with Italian researchers and civil authorities.
